A culinary argument between a brother and sister about whether to use
butter or margarine turned violent, resulting in an attack with a
knife-edged barbecue spatula, police say.

A 21-year-old man called East Wenatchee police on June 6 to say his
17-year-old sister had just attacked him and tried to cut his neck with
the serrated edge of the spatula, wrote Officer Carrie Knouf in a police
report filed in Douglas County Superior Court.

The sister told Knouf she was making macaroni and cheese when her
brother asked if she was using butter.

“They began to argue over the difference of real butter to
margarine,” wrote Knouf in the report.

The verbal argument escalated into a shoving match, and then the
sister is accused of trying to cut her brother, Knouf wrote.

The paper reports the girl was charged in Douglas County Superior Court with fourth-degree assault. Which raises a critical question: WWWWJCS? (What in the [Wenatchee] world would Julia Child have said?)
